Soulandy

Meeting the locals of Pefkos. The kittens fed on the cockroach and grasshoppers. There was also plenty of crickets knocking about for them 😁

Thanks Flamingemeralds 👍

Just had a week in Pefkos, Rhodes. It was a bit hot

Cheers Steve, loving the birdie pics 👍

A few from the Summer Solstice in Snowdonia. A view down the Dyffryn Mymbyr from Y Pincin above Capel Curig. A couple from the sunset on Snowdon Summit. One of Snowdon reflections across Llynarau Mymbry from Plas y Brenin

Not posted on here for a bit but some cracking photos of all sorts of stuff. A couple from the Isle of Mull back in May, the beach near to us, some Dolphins we saw and the Puffins of Staffa

Sad to hear this news. Thoughts go out to all the family and friends RIP

Very sad news. Didn't know him that well but first met a long time ago through the KTF group. Last spoke in person about 3years ago at the Stoke niter. A sound bloke who will be missed by many. Condolences to his family.

Three of the A380 at Manchester Airport today. I'll be on that later this year, upstairs 🙂

Brilliant. Was lucky enough to visit the Blue Mountains nearly 10 years ago on our first trip down under. 3 sisters and the Wentworth falls, great times

Yeh, I can believe it. When in Scotland a couple of years back, quite a lot turned up near to where we were staying in Kilchoan as there was sightings of a couple of Corncrake that had turned up. Yes we did have a listen out for it but nothing

That really does tell a story. Reminds me of some folk watching a piece of plastic go round and round 🙂 Great picture

Had a snowy walk in Snowdonia on Saturday enjoying the last of the snow before the rains come 🙂 First one is of Llyn y Foel just below Moel Siabod with a snow shower over Capel Curig The second one is looking down the Ogwen Valley with Tryfan on the right and Pen yr Ole Wen and the Carneddau on the left The third is Cwm Idwal The fourth is of the Nant Ffrancon valley flanked by the Carneddau on the right and the Glyderau on the left, taken from Cwm Idwal. Another great mountain day 🙂

Steve First time I've seen them on the river bollin. Have seen Goosander's before and only a glimpse of a Mandarin. They did fly off while I was trying to get a bit closer 🙂

Not the best bird pictures but was quite surprised to see a pair of Mandarins and also a pair of Gooseander's (only got the male) on the river Bollin. Full zoom on my compact, also a Robin that wouldn't play ball and the back of a Buzzard. Winter watch near Manchester Airport 🙂

Well done Steve and good to finally meet you last night. Hope to catch up again along the way 👍

Luckily I've seen a few but always hope to see one when I go out especially October-March. Such a great feeling

Right place and all that 🙂 Was hoping it to be all clear, then wishing for an inversion but I suppose a spectre or four will have to do 🙂

Happy new year to you all. Some great photo's already. Love the pointing finger of the Starling Murmuration , brilliant Steve I had a wander over Helvellyn and a few more fells on New Years Day, and what a day. More like spring than winter 🙂 1st one is a Brocken Spectre on Striding Edge, the 2nd is looking back on a clear Striding Edge with a distant Ullswater in the background and the 3rd is looking over to the Western Fell ranges from my lunch spot on Dollywagon Pike 🙂

Brilliant and shared

27th December, and a Final visit to the mountains of the UK for this year and it was more like Autumn on Snowdon than mid winter. The same time last year was -18 wind chill and a blizzard while this year was a barmy +2 and no wind!! First picture was on the ascent looking back to a cloud covered Beddgelert Forest and the slopes of Y Garn. The second is looking over to the coast of Anglesey on the descent path

"Forgot about this picture of Thomas on the infamous Crib Goch ridge earlier this year Steve" Steve, great photo of the Crib. One from the Crib a couple of years back with an inversion building. One great day that was 🙂

Edwin Starr, Brenda of the Exciters, a member of the Four Tops who I can't recognize the writing. I do remember the Four Tops being chauffeured in and out quite quickly while the artists mingled with the crowd. Chuck Jackson was also signing his LP that came out on the kent label at the time.

Other artists on the weekend. Chuck Jackson, JJ Barnes, Gene Chandler, Eddie Holman, HB Barnum

I think it might be. It was a small tape in a big camera, had it on me shoulder and got told by the bouncers I couldn't film anything! I know its in the loft somewhere. There is a shop local to me that transfers stuff so may dig it out and see if its worth doing.
